MSU's spirit of working together inspires alumnus to give back

November 16, 2016

Jack Lin was the first in his family to attend college, but he says the financial, academic and social support MSU offered ensured he was never in it alone.

From day one, he was impressed with MSU’s spirit of working together. It inspired him to get involved—from leading group projects in classes to joining Lambda Phi Epsilon, a fraternity dedicated to Asian American awareness. Now, as a management consultant based out of Chicago, the teambuilding and leadership skills he honed at Michigan State are adding up to success.

And he still appreciates the way Spartans work together. When the MSU Greenline calls, he knows the students on the line are working long hours to help their fellow students. So he is happy to step up for the next generation, including his brother who followed in his Spartan footsteps.

“MSU always gave me and my family the support we needed,” Jack says. “So, the decision to give back was easy for me.”
